#but it’s not bc i think he’s homophobic or anything

[maybebitterxox]

This scene from “The Yoko Factor” is so funny to me. Bc like

First of all, it cements that the antagonists of Buffy have the best gaydar bc they’re gay, because Faith (in the body swap episode) and Spike were literally the ONLY PEOPLE who NATURALLY noticed that Willow and Tara had a thing going without being told about it. It’s so fucking funny that Spike just immediately susses it out. Like yeah, they’re not hiding it, but he doesn’t even consider that it could be casual intimacy or anything, just like “yeah they’re lesbians, makes sense”

Second of all, the fact that he uses witchcraft as a metaphor for lesbianism. It’s just really funny

Third, how when he tells them that their friends are being judgy (a.k.a homophobic) about it, Willow just fucking believes him 😭 Like yes girl, this evil soulless vampire was definitely allowed to participate in a personal conversation between people who hate him about your relationship, makes total sense. She’s so upset about it too, bless her.

And then just Spike throwing in “I think it’s fine btw. If you wanna be a witch, be a witch, you know?” Like it’s just so fucking funny in retrospect. ‘Yeah, I’m an evil dude who cares about none of you, and I’m actively trying to convince you that your friends are homophobic so that it will cause a rift between you, but I just gotta let you know that I support gay people.’ It was probably so they’d trust his word more, but it’s still just so funny that he threw that in there. Just letting them know they have the Spike seal of approval.

Spike supports lesbians. Even when he wants them and their friends dead

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?

I didn't think I'd get pissed off again the moment I opened this site today but that homophobe Christian Linke really just spouted that bullshit about Viktor being ace? Are you for fucking REAL?

Either this is the pettiest man ever who's so so so pressed everyone including the animators supported the JayVik agenda against his wishes OR he has the most incompetent LGBTQIA+ team in the industry because who thought it was a good idea to make the DISABLED CHARACTER asexual??? What kind of message is that what is even happening oh my f–

That's not an ace flag, that's a RED FLAG.

That is not how you do representation.

Also I can't take anything that man says seriously. Plus this just sounds like he doesn't even know what asexual means. Ace doesn't equal aro and vice versa, and aro/ace is a VAST SPECTRUM. A large number of aroaces still experience attraction or sexual pleasure, they can ALSO be gay, they can ALSO be in relationships. Aroaces are not empty husks devoid of any sense of sensuality or love, nor are they unlovable or undesirable, are you fucking kidding me? Are you fuCKING KIDDING ME

Also announcing this out of the blue after the fact just to make JayVik 'unshippable'? Which is even more stupid bc even if Viktor was asexual that wouldn't mean they can't be in love lmfaooooo my dude you need to just step away and never talk again unless it's to apologize for being a fucking bigot

Cancel this man oh my god I'm so mad

I’m dying for video footage of this to see the tone of the conversation because I’ve really always kinda thought the reason Macden was taking so long or was pretty subtle was bc of Glenn

Not that he is necessarily AGAINST it. But i’ve always thought he was definitely hesitant to canonise anything past subtlety. This is very, very interesting

hi i made a tier list of how homophobic rezero characters are

hello in the spirit of valentine's day and the very welcoming community here on rezero tumblr i decided to make this with the help of my lovely mutuals.

[angelsdean]

seeing ppl reblog a “shitpost” where dean homophobically rejects Cas in the confession not realizing it’s literally from w* / destiel haters who think dean doesn’t give af abt Cas and would actually do that. like yea I don’t expect ppl to vet blogs but like, I saw it and immediately got a Vibe from it and was right

[starlooove]

No bc fuck tim but it really really bothers me how people ignore his growth like he used to be an asshole and I’ll give tim Stans one thing: now he’s so so so stale but what I disagree with is that this staleness is bc nobody likes him like it’s in fact the exact opposite where everyone likes him so much they dont want to do anything. Even when it’s him surface level challenging Bruce it’s when everyone else is doing it too; but he’s still the backbone of the fam! Etc. and it’s so irritating bc him gaining more compassion and empathy even for people he doesn’t fw is so fun to watch and that’s why the captain boomerang thing was so out of character! (Not in a from the author way but in a tim wouldn’t do that and he and Bruce both knew it which is why it went down like it did. Same way dick killing joker was ooc; not in fanon sense but in a he would hate himself forever for this sense) and speaking of that it’s such an interesting mirror to Bruce who genuinely believes that everyone can grow vs Tim’s it doesn’t matter if they grow it’s not my decision to make like it’s the same but it’s not AND WITH CASS’ IT DOESNT MATTER IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO GROW I WONT DO IT! like ugh. And anyways even when people acknowledge it they boil it down to “Janet and Jack taught him that the capitalist pigs that they are” like no. This is who tim was. Tim was the kind of guy who’d blame a dead kid for dying. That’s ok. Also Janet and Jack? Please reread anything involving them that’s not a fic like Jack had anger issues and they were both aloof at worst like relax.

it’s a little frustrating sometimes to watch people try to “debunk” gay mike evidence by quibbling over things that are. kind of beside the point? like arguing that mike’s consistently negative (or even neutral, if you want the benefit of the doubt) reactions to girls aren’t “disgust” therefore they don’t mean anything. but like 1. yeah i agree, cates gate isn’t about mike being “disgusted.” mike’s face when el kisses him isn’t “disgusted.” mike’s reaction to el, to max, to girls in general doesn’t really read to me as “disgust” either. so 2. what DOES it read to you as? incredulity? confusion? discomfort? those…. still aren’t positive reactions.

the point is that mike actively and blatantly Does Not react positively toward el kissing him. and he also Doesn’t react positively to dustin’s description of a girl being “hotter than phoebe cates.” he asks “is she cute?” with maybe preemptive incredulity (in line with will's question "girls go to science camp?") over a girl who goes to science camp being cute, or perhaps just a neutrally curious state over dustin's new girlfriend, but then dustin doesn’t say “she’s hotter than phoebe cates.” he says, “think phoebe cates. only hotter.” that’s a prescriptive statement. you want to know if she’s cute, mike? think about phoebe cates, and then imagine someone hotter than that. and mike’s expression doesn’t improve in the slightest. think about someone hotter than phoebe cates, dustin tells mike. and mike? remains confused and entirely unintrigued. no, he’s not disgusted, but the point is not his negative reaction, it’s a complete lack of any sort of positive reaction. if he’s listening to dustin, he should have, in that moment, thought of phoebe cates. and his reaction?

nothing.

(but. this is also just to say... i don’t even think it's fair to call most of mike’s facial reactions “proof” of his sexuality in any argument… i think they’re fun little easter eggs that add an extra visual element to his gay characterization. but. it’s not WHY people think he’s gay. it's funny to point out BECAUSE he's gay)

[edit: AND this is not even to mention the direct line drawn to this in season four via stobin's discussion of fast times, linking phoebe cates to 'people who like boobies.' #notmikewheeler]

i started reading this fucking out of character thick of it fanfic like a week ago bc even tho i could tell from first glance it was going to be ooc i was just curious and it sounded kind of funny slash tragic. (how are you tagging grief child death domestic violence attempted suicide on a ttoi fic hello?) and i dooo like complaining And for the most part if it weren't supposed to be about those guys it would just be pretty good so im not Regretting it? but i didn't realise how many stories were in the series and im probably 150k words in. and not much more than halfway through

[despemania]

oh my stars im surprised it actually reached dsp and he had to say something but watching the homophobe allegations spread the way it did was fucking crazy

[honig-dachs]

for someone who claims not to be homophobic there sure are a lot of y'all feeling way too comfortable throwing around homophobic language specifically targeted at lfjr

Putting on last year's trans rigs stream from Drawfee before i have to get ready to go out with my mum and her bf today (bc i have the worst feeling in my gut he's gonna make that An Thing for me if given the chance today, aka whenever i eventually need the restroom while we're at Mystic)

its sooo funny to me when people get mad over lgbt headcanons for sonic characters and say stuff like "you cant do that theyre canonically STRAIGHT!!!!".. even though 99 percent of sonic characters dont have canon sexualities and the few that do are Not straight. and when it comes to characters genders we just know their gender not whether theyre cis or trans. plus just because a character isnt canonically gay and/or trans doesnt make them canonically cishet by default.. get over yourselves

[jabeur]

on this topic, i suddenly remembered this gay person i knew some time ago who was like "why do you always assume men you like are straight you're acting exactly like straight people" and i saw their point but the thing is when a cishet person assumes everyone's straight it's bc of heteronormativity, when i assume men i'm interested in are straight i'm protecting myself from inevitable heartbreak and potentially dangerous situations by telling myself it's impossible anyway and to get over it <3

[yurislava]

something about this... like of course when killing geto he knew that it was a romantic day... but here it's literally said in the conversation. that the day gojo killed geto was a romantic holiday. and that gojo knows it. and calls it 'an anniversary'. they're gonna be the end of me

also the fact that gojo CHOSE the date december 24th... he wants to end it that day.

and the fact that he says "HAVING two death anniversaries". which means it's an important day to him. that he celebrates. anniversary... bc yk it could have been a neutral day for him, but it's not. it so isn't

I love homophobic sam i wish i met sam at stanford in 2004 and was his first exposure to a gay man and hed be weirdly obsessed with me cus he likes men too but has such a narrow view of gay ppl that he doesnt realise it yet so instead hed just ask well meaning but still rly invasive offensive questions like "do your parents still love you?" "do you think god is okay with your lifestyle?" and "so who sticks what in where?"
